Washington Greenway

The Washington Greenway is a residential neighborhood of Southeast Washington, Washington DC. It was a marshland and riverbank until the US Army Corps of Engineers dredged and reclaimed the land in the early 1880s. In 1940, it was developed as a massive low-income housing project for defense workers, and the neighborhood was still largely poor by the 21st century, continuing to be characterized by multiple-family homes and housing projects.
